Shipping Policies

ChocoSol takes great pride and joy in producing some of Toronto's most ethical, sustainable, nutritious, and delicious bean-to-bar chocolate. We take the same pride in doing our best to ensure our products arrive to you quickly and in perfect condition. 

Please note our following Shipping Policies: 

*[Summer shipping changes are in effect from May 15th - October 1st].

  1. Due to the scheduling of our shipping partners, we cannot ship packages out over the weekends or national holidays. Orders placed after noon on Thursdays will be shipped the following week. *Please keep this in mind if you are placing an order with ICS-Next Day delivery.                                               

  2. In addition to the selected delivery time at checkout, we require 2-3 business days to process and pack all orders. Trust us, it's worth the wait!

  3. We try our best, but ChocoSol cannot guarantee our products will arrive in perfect condition. Our online order fulfillment uses paper and heat-protective wrapping to protect our products on their journey to you. However, some products are more susceptible to heat-related damage (blooming) than others.
      
  4. Once your package has left our shop, we unfortunately have no control over damages and delays. Any damages incurred during shipping should be reported to the shipping company. Refunds may not be given for shipping delays or damage caused by inclement weather, package refusal, or incomplete or incorrect delivery address.  
      
  5. ChocoSol may delay shipping during extreme weather and heatwave (>25℃) conditions to prevent damage to our products. We will ship your order once the weather allows, typically after three consecutive days of low temperatures in the forecast (5-7 days for international orders). Visit our FAQ to learn about the best ways to store your chocolate and to get some tips on what to do with heat-affected bars!                                                                      
  6. Shipping fees: Shipping fees are determined by shipping companies and are therefore largely out of our control. Because of this, many ChocoSol customers find placing large orders the most cost-effective way to buy our products, especially since our chocolate is shelf-stable and has a recommended best-before date of 5-6 months!                                                  
  7. Cancellations and order changes: Unfortunately, we cannot cancel or modify an order once it has been picked up by the shipping company. If you have not yet received a shipping confirmation notice, please email us at onlinestore@chocosoltraders.com to cancel or modify your order.

Our Shipping Options:

ChocoSol provides customers with a variety of ways to have our products shipped. Please read the information below about our shipping options and partners so you can select the best method for you. 

GTA, Canada, and the U.S.

At checkout, select delivery via Canada Post, UPS, Purolator, or FedEx.

Additionally, ChocoSol offers free shipping for Canadian orders over $150! 

Please note: Packages sent with free shipping automatically require a signature for delivery. This helps to prevent lost or stolen packages. 

Trexity

For customers located in Toronto or the GTA, Trexity is a fast, same-day local delivery service that should be available at check-out. The average shipping cost for a Trexity delivery is $8.00, and customers will receive a "proof of delivery" photo once their package has been delivered!

Local Delivery

If you live in our local Toronto area, we offer $9.99-rate delivery by our own crew of bikes and vans! We are working to get your chocolate to you faster and safer by offering direct delivery. If you are in our selected areas, you will see “Local Delivery” as a shipping option. If you do not see it but live within 5km of our storefront, please send us a message and we will work to add you to our local network!

Please note: We are working to expand this delivery option but currently can only offer it to a limited number of areas. Orders are typically delivered on Tuesday but can take up to 4-6 days.
